Swapping Buttons W/ AS...play To Stop/stop To Play
Hi,

I'm looking for how to swap buttons with actionscript. If my FLV is playing, display the stop button. If it's stopped, display the play button.

Here's my AS so far.

Actionscript Code:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);

var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);

theVideo.attachVideo(ns);

ns.play("intro.flv");

stopButton.onRelease = function(){
ns.pause();
_root.bulletlist.stop();
isplaying = false;
}
playButton.onRelease = function() {
ns.pause();
_root.bulletlist.play();
isplaying = true;
}
rewindButton.onRelease = function() {
ns.seek(0);
_root.bulletlist.gotoAndPlay(1);
if(isplaying){
ns.seek(0);
}else{
ns.seek(0);
ns.pause();
}
}

Could I get some pointers or a good link?

Thanks!

Stop And Play Buttons
i have a set of buttons that look similar to cd player buttons - back all, back one, play/stop, forward one, forward all.

when the user clicks the play button, i want the image to change to a stop button and the movie to stop. when the stop button is clicked, i want the movie to resume where it left off, and the button to turn back to a play button.

i've tried a couple ways and nothing works entirely right. can anyone help with suggestions?

thanks!

Stop And Play Buttons
Hello all,

I know this is probably a VERY newbie question, but I can't figure it out.

I have a stop and play buttons in a scene to stop all movies and sounds, and a play button to play (or continue to play) all movies and sounds.

When I apply a stop and stop all sound scripts to the stop button, it only stops the animation in the scene, it doesnt stop the movies in the scene. Same with the play button. Can someone please help

Thanks

Stop And Play Buttons
I'm trying to make buttons in my movie for stop, play, nextScene, and prevScene. Each scene has it's own audio. When I move from "scene 1" to "scene 2" the audio from "scene 1" keeps playing on top of "scene 2" and it's audio until it's done.
Is there a way to make a nextScene command that stops the current audio so it doesn't overlap that of the next scene? Thanks in advance!

Here are my buttons
Play:
code: on(press) {
play();
}
Pause:
code: on(press) {
stop();
}
Previous Scene:
code: on(press) {
prevScene();
}
Next Scene:
code: on(press) {
nextScene();
}

STOP And PLAY Buttons
Don't know why I'm so stumped.

My swf contains series of still photos that zoom, fade, etc.

I want the user to be able to stop on individual photos at their "full bloom," so to speak (not during a tween or low alpha, etc).

I'm able to construct such a "movie clip" that stops at the key points in the photos.

However, I'm unable to get a second button (or movie clip) that resumes playing the timeline. In other words, it won't resume playing the tweens.

I'm certainly action script challenged.

Should the behaviors be movie clip or buttons?

Should I utilize "behavior" or "action script"?

Please advise. Perhaps there is a tutorial specific to this topic?

FYI -- if it helps to understand, the swf in question is posted at:

Thank you,

Terry D

Stop Play Pause Buttons
Hi I want to change look of my stop play pause buttons.
I have tree instances of one mc with shadow.

If I clik on play
mcPlay.shadow._visible = 0
and that's ok.

If I click on pause I need to check which buttons was previously clicked.
I can set _visible to 1 for every others buttons but this is not elegeant way.
That can be very hard to accomplish if I have 20 buttons.
Can you give me some hint?
Is "Listeners" useful for that?

Sound Stop/play Buttons
Hi - I am trying to make a background loop which will play automatically when a page loads and to display a stop button which will stop the music when clicked.
I managed to do this much, however, when the stop button is clicked, I would like to display a play button which will start the music again when clicked. I could not figure out how to do this. I've read several tutorials, but some of them seem outdated and others did not seem to work.
Can anyone give me some advice or direct me to a tutorial which would explain how to do this correctly?

Play And Stop Buttons With Music
hello. im a beginner with flash and i need a little help.
i want to create a small music player (that play only 1 song) which contains-
a Play button - button symbol
a Stop button - button symbol
a title (show what song is currently playing) - movie symbol
music - i guess movie symbol

the only problem i couldnt solve (the rest are working fine) is that the play and stop buttons arent working. the scripts i wrote for them are:

on(press){
a.play();
}

and

on(press){
a.stop();
}

respectively, while "a" is the instant name for the symbol which contains the song.

i think i figured out that the problem is that in the music symbol there is only 1 frame (which contains the song- i just went to frame #1 and dragged to the edit screen the song from the library).

please help me!!

Coding Stop/play/pause Buttons
Dunno why the pause concept is giving me such a hard time. I know I need a variable to hold sound.position but any help would be appreciated.

Sound object is "narration" and resides on the main timeline. Buttons are in a dynamically loaded mc (not that this makes any difference).

I have 2 separate "Back" and "Forward" buttons that, on release, load a new topic and thus load a new mp3 into the sound object. Problem I'm having is that my "marker" variable which gets set to a narration.position on release of the pause button is doing its job too well. When the next mp3 is loaded, hitting play begins the new mp3 at the previously paused position. Can't seem to clear out "marker" to save my life.

Thanks in advance...

How To Make Play/pause And Stop Buttons?
hi, would someone please be able to post the actionscript for these three buttons? i would very much appreciate it :)

i was wonderin if there was a way to make a pause button, with ns. but one that when you press it then press it again it wont start. so that no matter how many times you press it the movie will stay paused (now like ns.pause when you click it pauses and when you click it again it starts, i ned a dedicated pause button)

and how to make a play button? so that when its paused, the only thing to start it again is pressing the play button and that when itsplaying you can freely press the play button and nothing will happen? (again, ns.pause doen't work on the play button since if we have it there the play button is now able to pause the video)

also, how do i make a stop button? so i click it and it takes me to the start of the video and stops it from playing?

thx. phatmat.

Creating Stop/play Buttons That Include Sublayers
Hi

I have made a flash presentation that runs for about 3 minutes. As of now it runs in loops, with no interacting possible. I would, however, like to add a pause/stop button, and another one that plays the presentation from the same frame it was stopped.

The problem is that I have several scenes (not the worst problem), and also lots of layers which again have sublayers with animation on them. Some of the scenes and layers have up to ten independent animations.

When I add a script for stopping the presentation, the scene stops, but the sublayered animations continue to play, which of course messes up the presentation.

I am of the understanding that creating lots of sublayers with animation isn't the best solution, but the presentation is made, and doing it all over isn't worth the effort just to get a pause button.

Is there any way I can create a stop button that stops every animation on all layers and sublayers, and then play them again when I hit a play button?

Thanks for any help you can give me on this matter.

How To Create Looped Sound Clip With Play/stop Buttons?
Hi everyone, basically, What I want to happen is when the flash file loads up on my page a small soundclip (.wav) starts playing, and it has to be looped so it plays exactly continuously and seamlessly; there can't be a 'gap' when it reaches the end and starts playing again.

I'd like to offer two controls: a stop button so people can stop it, and a play button so they can start it up again if they wish.

If that's too complicated then just the stop button would do.

When I've tried to do this myself the sound loads up again after the stop button has been pressed and the play button didn't work.

Im quite new to flash so a step by step guide would be of great help.

Thank you very much for your time and help.

Doing A Flash Presentation With Audio And Would Like Tips On Pause-play-stop Buttons
yeah im doing a project for Nokia and it requires about 3 mins of spoken audio in it..

anyhow its quite straight forward..some bar graphs..text and speak.
But i havent really done a project like this before exactly so i basically need it to work so that you are able to stop or pause the speak at any given moment..then be able to play(continue from where you stopped and left off) and be able to skip back or fwd thru-out the speak.

I think i will split up the 3 mins of speak into several smaller bits instead of having 1 great long wav on timeline..might be best????

But does anyone have any good tutorials..or open FLAS for me to see how this could best be done..

Id be very greatful!!

Playing Music Via "stop - Play - Reverse - Forward Buttons"
Hello everyone,

I am working on a media player, and have received help from a member on here with how to set it up to have files play via clicking on a button in the flash file.

The problem I am having now is that I need to have the "stop" - "play" - "reverse" - "forward" buttons all work for each file that is currently playing. There is 4 audio files that can be clicked and played, but I am stuck on how to get the stop/play/fwd/rev buttons to work for each file as they are playing in the media player.

Here is the actionscript for the file.

Code:
play_mc.onRelease = function(){
myMedia.setMedia("URL of the file", MP3)
}

my_media2_mc.onRelease = function(){
myMedia.setMedia("URL of the file", MP3)
}

my-media3_mc.onRelease = function(){
myMedia.setMedia("URL of the file", MP3)
}

mymedia_ap_mc.onRelease = function(){
myMedia.setMedia("URL of the file", MP3)
}
I am sorry if this is such a newbie question, but I am taking everything I learn and applying it to projects and hoping that I can soon be able to give advice to others on this board.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can give me some insight.

Thanks.

Fms Ns.play(file, -2) Vs Ns.play(stream, -2)
Hi,

I have a very strange problem.

I have created an application on fms. on the streams/_definst_/instance directory there is a sample flv file with name file.flv

If i have a client doing ns.play(file,-2) everything is fine. The file is delivered (streaming) nicely.

If i have the below:

Client::: ns.play(stream, -2);

Server-side: (Stream.get("stream")).play(file, -2);

The file is delivered, but it doesnt playback/flow properly. It seems like breaking(stacks) on some points and then continue.

Does anyone have any idea?

Stop, Then Play A MC, Then Play Again?
Hi... Im really new using Flash, so Im looking for help. Here´s the thing... I want to place a button on the first frame to go to the second frame, then on the second frame I have a Movie Clip, then I want this MC to play and when it finishes go to the 3rd frame of the main movie.

Even for me sounds easy, right?

What Im doing is placing a "Stop" at the first frame to allow the button to work, then a second "Stop" at the 2nd frame to allow the MC to play, and then at the 3rd frame a third "Stop" to read all the info. So im placing at the final frame in the MC the only code in actionscript that I thought I knew how to use... gotoAndPlay. So at the last frame of the MC I place
gotoAndStop("Scene 1", 3);

but it goes to the Frame 3 of the Movie Clip, and I want to go to the Frame 3 of the main movie.

I´ve already changed the name of the Scene and still don´t work.
Ok... I know this is probably lower than Flash 101, but I can´t do it.

Thanx to anyone who can answer this one without cracking jokes at my expense.

Resume Play Than Restart Play On The Play Button.
I have this script that works but it keeps on starting from the start of the song, than resume from where I stopped it.

myMusic = new Sound();
myMusic.loadSound("audio/track.mp3", true)
stopbtn.onRelease = function()
{
trace("sound stopped");
myMusic.stop();
};

playbtn.onRelease = function()
{
trace("sound played");
myMusic.start();
};

How do I change this code to resume when pressing the play button than starting from the start of the song. I guess it be more like a pause button than a play button.

[F8] Movie Plays > Stop > Reverse > Stop > Play
I am fairly new to involved action scripting. I have successfully scoured flashkit threads for years to get my answers but this one has been driving me crazy for the past couple days. I have tried numerous solutions but none of them do exactly what I am trying to do.

I am creating an online portfolio that I want to control with two buttons that will play forward on release and stop at every piece unless the user is pressing and holding down - I also would like the scrolling animation to play in reverse on press and stop at every piece unless press and hold which happens to be skateboards in this section. I am posting the .fla for this section. This is what I have been able to accomplish so far. I moved everything into the main timeline from a movie clip because I could not get that to work at all. Should I move it back to movie clip? I also want it to stop at the first board.

here is the code I was able to peice together that just plays continously without stops.

Empty movie clip on second frame.

PHP Code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
    if (_root.goBack)
    {
        _root.prevFrame();
    }
    else
    {
        _root.nextFrame();
    }
    _root.frameNo = "Frame : " + _root._currentFrame;
}

Forward button.

PHP Code:

on (press)
{
    _root.goBack = false;
}

Reverse Button.

PHP Code:

on (press)
{
    _root.goBack = true;
}

I have only done basic stops; goToAndPLay, getURL and such I am a little out of my league here but I started the ball rolling and would like to make this work as I intended. Any help making this do anything close to what I am describing would be much appreciated
